Hey,Thank for your perfect script.
But I have found a bug:
You get the tomcat pid by

echo ps -fe | grep $CATALINA_BASE | grep -v grep | tr -s " "|cut -d" " -f2

But if I have opened a conf file in the $CATALINA_BASE ,the command will return more than one result.

you can change it to

echo ps -ef | grep "org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start" | grep $CATALINA_BASE | grep -v grep | tr -s " "|cut -d" " -f2

Thank you!
(My English is not good,if inappropriate,please understand.)

Hello, Thanks for your script.
One thing i want to check some.
tomcat_pid method
echo ps -fe | grep $CATALINA_BASE | grep -v grep | tr -s " "|cut -d" " -f2

When i stop tomcat, sometimes process shows more then 1. so It cause many pid lists.

So, I recommand tomcat_pid scripts change below
echo ps -fe | grep $CATALINA_BASE | grep -v grep | grep -v stop | tr -s " "|cut -d" " -f2

Thank you!

The tomcat status function should be exit 3 instead of return 3.

return has nothing to do with exit codes required for application/scripts.
